Lucky guy a SX64,,,but it depends how much you
paid...I was offered one
for
$500CAN not too long ago....sure I am crazy...
Only 30 Aussie dollars which is just 15 US dollars today (bad news for us
who like to buy imported techie goodies).
I would check all chips on the boards and push on all
of the socketed
ones...specially the ROMs....
That was the first thing I tried to do (and about the limit of my technical
abilities)
By the way, I have been told that 5000 of these SX64
were made...does that
sound right or can someone confirm this?
Definitely not common. In the mid-80's I was in a club of over 1,000
Commodore users and as far as I know only one person owned a SX-64 and it
was a major "show and tell" when he brought it along!
